Features & Capabilities

Fiwalld Non-Root Firewall is a robust, free Android firewall designed to protect your device from malicious apps and intrusive network activities without needing root access. It offers real-time monitoring of app connections, strict default rules blocking ads, malware, spyware, coinminers, and advanced features for creating custom firewall rules with ease.

Key features include multi-dimensional stats for identifying suspicious activity, support for private DoH/DNSCrypt servers, batch whitelist provisioning, and options to check IP location via map apps. Fiwalld also supports IPv6, default block-all mode, and ensures privacy with non-logging DNS servers. Operating through Android's VPN service, it filters traffic locally, avoiding external servers. Note: Some antivirus scanners may incorrectly flag Fiwalld due to included domain lists, but this is a false positive with no impact on your device security.

User Reviews

Fiwalld is praised for its effective no-root firewall functionality with customizable filtering, logging, and good support from the developer. Users appreciate its ability to block ads and work with encrypted DNS. However, many reviews highlight issues with auto-start behavior after boot, app compatibility problems causing slow or failed app launches, limited protection against inbound attacks, and the removal of ad-blocking in updates. The app is valued as a privacy tool but could improve usability and extend protection capabilities.

Pros

Effective firewall with customizable blocking features by domain, IP, and app-level controls.
No root required, making it accessible and easy to use for general users.
Works well with encrypted DNS services and offers ad-blocking capabilities.
Developer is responsive and actively improving the app with updates and new features.
Good logging and monitoring functions that help users track network activity and enhance security.

Cons

Lack of an option to disable or exit the app after boot, causing it to run continuously even when not needed.
Auto-start feature is unreliable or confusing, requiring manual intervention after reboot.
Certain apps experience delays or fail to start when Fiwalld is active, even if whitelisted.
No protection against incoming IP traffic or hacking attempts; it primarily blocks outbound connections from apps and domains.
Removal of ad-blocking in some updates due to Google policy disappointed users.

Recent reviews

It is perfect firewall but unknown to me how to skip autorun after boot or disable it except to run it first (and unprotect it from the app). You know sometimes I don't need protection so it is not necessary when it runs in memory. Or please add option - exit, quit, disable after boot or so. Thank you.

Works good, interface could be more user friendly, lots of icons where there should be words, but functionally sound. Customizable blocking on whatever you want.
